PHP start fails: awk not found about nextcloud-snap HOT 12 CLOSED

Thanks @alippert, this was just reported to me via email-- working on it now.

from nextcloud-snap.

awk is mapped via etc/alternatives to gawk and is functioning at the command line:

ubuntu@ip-10-10-0-89:~$ awk '/MemTotal/ {printf "%d", $2/1024}' /proc/meminfo
3950

from nextcloud-snap.

@alippert can you run this test for me?

$ sudo snap install hello-world
$ hello-world.sh

That will drop you into a confined shell. Please run the following commands within it:

$ which awk
$ awk '/MemTotal/ {printf "%d", $2/1024}' /proc/meminfo

from nextcloud-snap.

Interesting:

ubuntu@ip-10-10-0-89:~$ hello-world.sh
Launching a shell inside the default app confinement. Navigate to your
app-specific directories with:
  $ cd $SNAP
  $ cd $SNAP_DATA
  $ cd $SNAP_USER_DATA
bash-4.3$ which awk
bash-4.3$ awk '/MemTotal/ {printf "%d", $2/1024}' /proc/meminfo
bash: awk: command not found
bash-4.3$

Interesting indeed, thank you. I thought awk was included in the core. Investigating now. To clarify, you're running vanilla Ubuntu 16.04? Not a derivative?

from nextcloud-snap.

Correct.

ubuntu@ip-10-10-0-89:~$ which awk
/usr/bin/awk

But apparently not in core.

Okay, one more test (sorry): what is the output of:

$ snap list

from nextcloud-snap.

Name         Version               Rev  Developer  Notes

Good find @alippert, I'll just bundle it for now.

Thanks

@alippert can you verify that this was resolved in version 9.0.50snap3?

from nextcloud-snap.

Snap 3 looks good. Nice work - and fast too!
